My go at LD42
Running out of space :rolling_eyes: ... not exactly my most beloved theme. However, I think it is one that thoroughly guides you towards a certain type of play, so I think it is actually a very good theme! :thumbsup:
Also, not having a theme directly related to Douglas Adams beloved increasing inaccurate trilogy is actually a good thing, because one can combine a gameplay related theme (Running out of space) with any type of environment theme (I'll try to count how many will use a Hitchhiker theme in the end :rofl: )
I will continue where I left with Hanoi - city of scooters in LD41, and will create another Massively Singleplayer Game (if time permits), this time (of course) placed in space and based upon one of the more major hilarious concepts of the Hitchhiker’s Guide: Intergalactic Bar Billiards! Of course, this name is now already taken, and we have 2018, with the tendency to oversimplify things I will call it - drumroll :drum: -
Space Billiards
The plan so far is:
You will have to help your planet :camping: (and it’s 10 billion inhabitants) to survive a game of Space Billiards. Planets are billiard balls :8ball:, Suns are billiard pockets :hole:, lasers behave like billiard cues :closed_umbrella: and of course there is the obvious space-time-distorting black hole :bomb: every now and then. Luckily, you have a large finite improbability drive :rocket: (not an infinite one, though!), thus you can move your planet around quite a bit... But it has side effects :grin:... like filling up space with alternative fact\H\H\H\Hrealities...
Well, I always travel with my towel :reminderribbon: - what could possibly go wrong... :dizzyface:
